Just curious...has there ever been a device available

that functions like an analog phone line and allows transmission via TCPIP?
For example, taking an older BBS system that has 5 internal modems in it,
and plugging the lines into this "mystery" device and then being able to
telnet to different ports and it makes the connection to one of the ports?
Heh. I worked one on once, but it had 2000 modems :-) it was used by
large ISP to field dial-in calls but it could do dial-out also.
You might want a line emulator, which is sort of a "ring down line in a box".
It has 2 rj-11's and when one side goes off hook it can generate ring
voltage on the other side. Those boxes are not very expensive.
